Vita

Preston Douglas (1974-2002) was born in 1974 in Richmond, St. Mary, Jamaica. He was the last son of ten brothers and sisters. He began to paint at the age of 20, he was a home (self-taught) artist.

He had several exhibitions in 1995/1996 at Grosvenor Gallery, Constant Spring, Kingston.

He mostly painted churches – often corner churches – inspired by the Pukkumina cult, an African-Jamaican religion. But his work also depicts market scenes of Jamaica and the tropic fruits and vegetables of the quite countryside.
